OH SUSANNAH

Oh Susannah

Oh Susannah

Oh Susannah

Oh Susannah

I had a dream the other night

Everything was still

I dreamed I saw Susannah

She was coming down the hill

Oh oh oh Susannah, don't you cry for me

'Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

Buckwheat cake was in her mouth

The tear was in her eye

Said I, I'm coming from the South

Susannah, don't you cry

Oh oh oh Susannah, don't you cry for me

'Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

Rained all night the day I left

The weather, it was dry

Sun so hot I froze to death

Susannah, don't you cry

Oh oh oh Susannah, don't you cry for me

'Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

I had a dream the other night

That everything was still

I dreamed I saw Susannah

She was coming down the hill

Oh oh oh Susannah, don't you cry for me

'Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

Well I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

I'm gone to Louisiana,

My true love for to see

Oh oh oh Susannah, don't you cry for me

'Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

Yeah I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

Yeah I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

CLEMENTINE

In a cavern, in a canyon,

Excavating for a mine

Dwelt a miner forty niner,

And his daughter Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy,

And her shoes were number nine,

Herring boxes, without topses,

Sandals were for Clementine.

Clementine, Clementine

Oh my darling, Clementine

Drove she ducklings to the water

Ev'ry morning just at nine,

Hit her foot against a splinter,

Fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water,

Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,

But, at last, I was no swimmer,

So I lost my Clementine.

Clementine, Clementine

Oh my darling, Clementine

Then the miner forty niner,

Seem begin to peak and pine,

Thought he oughta join his daughter

Now he's left his Clementine

In my dreams she still doth haunt me,

Robed in garments soaked in brine,

Though in life I used to hug her,

In death, I'll draw the line

Clementine, Clementine

Oh my darling, Clementine

How I missed her, how I missed her,

How I missed my Clementine,

So I kissed her little sister,

And I forgot my Clementine.

Clementine, Clementine

Oh my darling, Clementine

Clementine, Clementine

You are lost and gone, Clementine

Clementine

Clementine, Clementine

Oh my darling, Clementine

Clementine, Clementine

You are lost and gone, Clementine

Clementine

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain

And there I took her life

Met her on the mountain

I stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow

I reckon where I'll be

Hadn't a-been for Grayson

I'd a-been in Tennessee

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow

I reckon where I'll be

In some lonesome valley

Hangin' from a white oak tree

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

I met her on the mountain

And there I took her life

Met her on the mountain

I stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, Tom Dula

Poor boy, you're bound to die

HIGH FLYIN’ BIRD

There's a high flyin' bird, way up in the sky

And I wonder does she looks down as she flies on by?

Just floatin' so free and easy in the sky

But look at me here

I'm just rooted like a tree here

I got them sit down, can't fly

Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues

I'm gonna die

Well, the sun comes along and she lights up the day

And then when she gets tired she just flies along on her way

From the East to the West she goes down every day

But look at me here

I'm just rooted like a tree here

I got them sit down, can't fly

Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues

Oh I'm gonna die

Well, I once knew a man, he worked in a mine

Well, he never saw the sun but then he never stopped tryin'

And then one day that old man he up and he died

Yeah, he up and he died

He up and he died

Well, he wanted to fly

And the only way to fly was to die

Lord, I'm gonna die blues

Lord, I'm gonna die blues

Lord, I’m gonna die

There's a high flyin' bird way up in the sky

I wonder does she looks down as she flies on by

Just floatin' so free and easy in the sky

Look at me here

I'm just rooted like a tree here

I got them sit down, can't fly

Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues

Know I'm gonna die blues

I know I'm gonna die

I'm gonna die

Gonna die blues

Gonna die blues

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me

As I went walking I saw a sign there

And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"

But on the other side it didn't say nothing,

That side was made for you and me

In the shadow of the steeple, I saw my people

By the relief office, I'd seen my people

As they stood hungry, I stood there asking,

Is this land made for you and me?

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me

Nobody living can ever stop me,

As I go walking that freedom highway,

Nobody living can ever make me turn back

This land was made for you and me

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me

As I went walking I saw a sign there

And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"

But on the other side it didn't say nothing,

That side was made for you and me

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me

WAYFARIN’ STRANGER

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

I'm traveling through this world of woe

Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger

In that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

I know that dark clouds will gather 'round me

I know my way is rough and steep

Yet beautious fields lie just before me

Where God's redeemed their vigil’s keep

I'm going there to see my mather

She said she'd meet me when I come

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Walk traveling through this world of woe

There's no sickness, toil nor danger

In that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us

God save the Queen.

(Long may she reign)

O Lord and God, arise,

Scatter the evil lies,

And make them fall.

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their empty tricks,

On thee our hopes we fix

God save the Queen.

(Long may she reign)

(God save the Queen)

(My country ‘tis of thee

Sweet home of liberty

Of thee I sing)

(Land where my fathers died

Land of the pilgrim’s pride

From every mountain side

Let freedom ring)

(Let freedom ring)
